講義概要/Course description
  In this course, we will read Walter Scott's The Heart of Midlothian (1818) as Edinburgh fiction as well as crime fiction. The novel, set in mid-18th-century Edinburgh, London, and the Scottish Highlands, is partly based on actual historical events and characters like the Porteous Riots in 1736 and a courageous woman called Helen Walker, and has enjoyed critical acclaim as one of the historical novelist's masterpieces. First we consider the city of Edinburgh as setting of a novel, then analyse the novel in the Scottish historical and imperial contexts, focusing on its narrative structure, its use of historical events and characters, and the linguistic and geographical variey in Britain. The following lecture plan and the method of instruction may be modified during the course where necessary.
